Any "capture directly to Video IPOD" encoders?

Are there are utiliities or software for MAC that would allow you to
capture video right as the format that Video IPODS will play, to avoid having
to do an export/conversion later?
Thanks.

FWIW (unless something has changed) the Capty Fastcoder does not do realtime capture/conversion. It will take a DV file though and convert it in real time. Actually a good little gizmo though it looks like it may be donefor (clearance many places and no longer on LaCie site, could not find a new homepage.)
It did a serviceable job for some things, though it could not do anamorphic (at least the one I had/have, it iss around here somewhere, nice, small and light to throw into a laptop bag ) without actually adding top/bottom bars if I recall correctly.
But when you needed a quick encode it is great. Man if anyone comes out with something like this again and tweaks it just a little bit I would grab one in a second.

Are there any DVD copiers and Video- iPod converters out there?

I want something other than DVD Decrpyter and Videora, because they aren't working for me. Anything else?

I'm using both alternately and are both good. No need for decrypter. By the way, these are not free as well but mine are.

30G video iPod not playing podcast video

My video iPod won't play podcast video. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I just recently upgraded iTunes, but I was having the problem before that. Any suggestions?

My video iPod won't play video files. I get sound, but no video, just a still picture. Video plays fine on my computer. I used to be able to play the same video files before. When I do a "Get info", the files are of MPEG-4 type. Any suggestions?
By the way, I have played around with the video settings also.

Does the new Video iPod scratch as easily as the old?

I'm thinkig aobut getting a new 80gb Video Ipod to replace my "old" 30 GB video iPod. Does the new version scratch as easily as the old?

I've been to Bestbuy and Circuit City also, no scratches on any of the new video iPods yet. They must have switched to a scratch resistant plastic for the screens. I've looked at the new video iPods at the Apple store, Bestbuy, and Circuit City and none show the slightest scuff after a few weeks. The only scratch I saw was where someone intentionally damaged one of the screens with a knife or something.

Video Capture Direct to IPOD

Does anyone know of a way to use an IPOD video as a DVR - without a computer and video capture card. Is there some sort of device one can plug the IPOD into that connects directly to a TV signal (e.g. Composite, RCA, Component, S-video, etc) and would allow you to record that signal directly to the IPOD?

I don't believe such a device exists (yet).
Cheers!

How can I capture live HD video direct to hard drive?

Hello,
My goal is to be able to capture 1080p video from a camcorder direct to the hard drive of a mac. Space is a concern, so ideally this would capture directly to a Mac Mini, but if the only option is to upgrade to a Mac Pro or MacBook Pro (for Thunderbolt), I may be able to work with that. What I know about so far are the offerings from Black Magic:
1) The H.264 pro recorder: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/h264prorecorder/
2) and the Ultra Studio 3D: http://www.blackmagic-design.com/products/ultrastudio3d/
With the first option, I'm worried about the quality. Ultra Studio 3D is very expensive ($1000) and would require upgrading to a MacBook Pro for Thunderbolt, but I'm open to that if it is the only way to get full 1080p quality.
I also have read about an app in the Firewire SDK called DHS cap. I haven't been able to try this since the cameras I have access do not have Firewire, but if people have had success with that, then I can purchase a camera that can connect through Firewire.
The last thing I've read about is Capture Magic HD. I would like to test this as well, but it appears the developers are out of business (their website is down), and i cannot find the software anywhere.
Any advice about the best way to go about this would be greatly appreciated. I've been googling away and searching forums for days now.

Really? You've never opened up the capture window?
Never since about CS2.
I have had a tapeless workflow for ever... so never had reason to even take a look at the Capture Window in later versions of Premiere.

Can you transfer hd video directly from an ipod and then EDIT that video in imovie? I will be on the road and wont have a mac, just an ipad 2 and ipod touch. I want to shoot video on the touch and edit it on the ipad. Thanks!

Thanks Tgara.
Its funny. So far the responses have been 50/50 on this question. I even asked two seperate Apple Store employees here in NYC, and got two different answers! One said yes, the other no.
Argh!
I know from watching the keynote speech about icloud and iOS 5 that you will be able to cut the cord between the pc and ios devices like the ipad. No more need to sync them via a cord. So will that mean i would then be able to load video directly to the ipad via tha cam kit connector from my ipod? Also i wonder if/when Apple will allow HD video from on Apple devices like a canon dslr to be able to transfer to the ipad via the cam kit connector AND be able to EDIT that footage in imovie for the ipad. Speaking of imovie for the ipad...i hope it gets an update soon as well.
Anyway....with the macbook airs getting updated next week with thunderbolt and new sandy bridge chips....i may just get one of them instead of the ipad 2 for editing video on the road. Still...i prefer surfing the web experience on the ipad. Grrrrrrr. **** youuuuuuu Apple!!! Lol

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

I want to connect the ipod directly to the car 's speakers without any amplifiers, is there any danger to burn the ipod?

No, but it will not work. The iPod does not have an amplifier in it that is powerful enough to drive the speakers in your car.
So, do you have a stereo in the car, either factory fitted or one you have had fitted after it came out of the factory? If you do, check to see if the car's stereo either has a dedicated input for an iPod or an auxilary (aux input) socket.
Some modern cars (for example, my 2006 model Mazda 3) have stereos that can be fitted with iPod connectors. I paid to have one fitted to my Mazda's factory-fitted stereo. So now, I connect my iPod to the car's stereo via a dock connector and I have limited control of the iPod from the car's steering wheel. Some cars have more sophisticted control than mine does.
Alternatively, if the car's stereo has an Aux input socket, you only need to buy a headphone-to-headphone lead and connect from the iPod's headphone socket to the Aux input.
If you don't have either of those options, another method is to use a transmitter. These small radio transmitters are connected into the headphone socket of the iPod and then transmit the audio (like radio) so that you can tune your car's radio to the same frequency as the transmitter. You control the iPod as you do when using headphones. The sound quality will porbably not be as good as the dedicated dock connector method, but it's reasonable.

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture?

Does creative cloud include any software for HD video screen capture? I know that Captivate is not offered but are there other software applications available that do the same job? I am not wanting to make tutorials but I am a filmmaker wanting to integrate sequences with screen capture (which I will edit on Premiere)

Thanks Brian,
Spent some time yesterday doing research on this. There are good reviews and bad reviews for just about every screen capture application out there it seems.
The top-ten reviews gave their gold medal to CamVerce, which I'll probably buy today.
http://video-capture-software-review.toptenreviews.com/
Yesterday I bought the Sonne Screen video which is rated 5th on the top-ten site. (I figured as I'm going to be editing on premiere I shoudn't need to pay for extra editing packages and as I'm not using it to create tutorials I really just want a good quality screen capture for Windows 8). However, I'm not really happy with the image quality on playback and I'm finding the technical assistance really poor from Sonne. I still haven't received an email confirmation from them.
The others that I thought sounded right for me were WM Capture (though the top-ten review had a few negative things to say about it).
Tried a couple of the free ones also. EZvid is very popular.
Will see how I go and let you know. I'm sure this is very subjective and I'm probably not being as clear as I need to be about purpose of use.

HT1363 hi, i use an old but great black photo/video ipod. Suddendly it won't recharge, when connected it emits several clicks and an ipod icon appears together with the apple support email address. I have tried to restore and reset but it won't work. Any

hi i use an old black 60G photo/video ipod. Suddenly it won't recharge, when connected to the pc it emits several cicks in serires and then it shows at intervals a low battery signs and another sign, a sad faced ipod icon with the apple support email address. Any clues and to how I can rescue it? Thank you very much. Alf1962

I am having essentialy the same problem, but my iPod came from a PC and is now on a PC. The person who gave me the iPod didn't give me the wall adapter piece, so I bought a "Griffin" brand that was said to be compatible with this model. When I first plugged it into the wall, the Apple appeared with a bar underneath as though it was loading the new software. When the bar got to the end, the "plug into the wall" icon reappeared, but when I plug it in to the wall now, that icon is the only thing that shows, even after resetting and trying to run diagnostics.
When I doc the iPod on a charger I have or plug the USB into my computer and "reset" it, a battery with a charge icon appears, but there is no "motion" in the icon so it doesn't appear to be charging. The screen eventually goes back to the apple then to the "plug it into the wall" icon. HELP!!! Is is possible the wall adapters isn't the right one? Should I be charging through a firewire cable instead (which I also don't have...)?

Any compatible USB 2.0 cards available for the video iPod?

Any compatible USB 2.0 cards available for the video iPod?
Dual 867
512 RAM
OS X 10.4.3
I installed a TECHGEAR USB 2.0 card, the iPod shows that is active on the bus, but does not show on the desktop, or in iTunes. Epson printer works, but SanDisk does not. I have read about deep sleep issues too. USB 1.0 is painfully slow. After using FW to update our 15 Gig iPods for sooooo looooong this is one BIG step backwards. Dupid genius at the Apple store in Arden Fair said this iPod would work with a PCI 2.0 card. I am a little ticked after purchasing videos for my wife with the promise a card would work. I know, should have done more research and not asked the genius.
Merry Christmas,
Shawn Bockoven

Well, I now have a working USB 2.0 connection. BUT!!!! The lame OS X 10.4.3 sleep issue has raised its ugly head. How about supporting long time users Apple? Let's talk about supporting third party cards. I run a TV station and love my Mac's, but this legacy USB 2.0 stuff just stinks!
WAIT!!! My Mac is only fours years old. Is that too old? I just want to make my dual 867 sleep! Why can’t I put make my dual 867 sleep after installing a third party card? All the new Mac’s at the station work just fine. Now convince my 62-year-old mom to switch.

Video ipod wont add any more MP4 video files?

i have well over 23 GB left on my 30 GB video ipod and for some reason stupid itunes will not add the files to my movies setion of my library. I have the videos in my documents, and i click add file to library, that doesnt work, and when i double clcik the file so it will play in itunes, that doesnt work either! PLEASE help.

Oh, my mistake!
The screen is leaving pixel lines? That sounds like a pretty well damaged iPod.
If restoring/updating hasn't worked, the best thing to do is to request service for your iPod. If it is under warranty, they will do it for free:

Is there any way to import my OWN DVD movies into iTunes and my video iPod?

I just purchased the new 30 GB video iPod last week, and although I have already purchased a few movies from the iTunes store, I wanted to know if there was a way to import a DVD movie from my own DVD library like we can with our own music CDs?
Thanks,

"That's too bad, because these are movies (DVDs) that I own and have purchased legally myself. How is that different from importing your own purchased CDs into iTunes? Seems like a double standard to me."
About "legally owning" the DVDs - Yes, I understand, and I'm figuring that most folks who want to put their DVDs onto their iPod are owning the movies legally (or, at least, it appears so).
That's not really the issue here, though.
The problem is, there is an encryption that is written onto regular, copyrighted DVDs (i.e., movies). In order to get that onto your iPod, you will have to use software on your computer that breaks that encryption, and makes the file into some more "normal" format, like say, MP4.
This action can arguably be considered as illegal, in a sense, since you are removing the encryption that's on DVD, which is protecting it from being easily copied, and transferred around. (which would be illegal).
This is a bit different than CDs, since, although they are copyrighted too, the songs are usually not in a protected format.
If you have a song that you've purchased from the iTunes Store, and you want to break into that "protected" file format, that's the same kind of issue as the DVD ripping.
(Notice that the Hosts included that into the ADUA as well, right along with DVD ripping.)
...It's quite an interesting kind of subject, isn't it?

Record video/Audio into Qtime directly to mpeg 4 (video ipod format)

I have tried but can't seem to accomplish this. Is it possible to "record" into Quicktime, video from an external source and immediately create the format that plays back correctly on a video ipod? I know I can input a large quicktime file and then convert it for a few hours to the "Movie to iPod" format, but is there a way to skip that step? I see that I can input to an MPEG 4 format and an H.264 but both of these also reqire lengthy conversions. No way aroun d that?

Hi -
Nope. You need either a hardware solution that works in real time like the Blackmagic or a software solution that converts the files. If you have Final Cut Studio it comes with Compressor software that will allow you to create H.264 files.
There may be other software solutions out there, but if you are using software, you will need to allow for the time taken to convert the files.
Hope this helps.
